A Poor Result

Sad to report that, after a long and fraught Council meeting today our amendment calling for the Council not to use compulsory redundancy to save money was defeated. As the post below explained we were prepared to accept almost £16m of savings on condition that there would be no compulsory redundancies. I think we won the debate but lost the vote, as usual. The LibDem/SNP Administration have missed an opportunity to reassure hundreds of Council workers who are feeling very vulnerable right now.
